One of my favorite repair channels to watch. The OP is low on ego, and high on skills, which is somewhat of a rare combo these days.

[@ToltecMerc]

That's very kind of you! Thank you!

[@jameskenney5623]

So much work, yet so much skill demonstrated in this video.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I do appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@jonydarksy2600]

As always, another awesome job!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!

[@on2wheels504]

Wow I bet that was an expensive repair, hope you didn’t pay too much for the console. Great job as usual thanks for sharing.

[@ToltecMerc]

I paid $215 total for this one. I've been selling them for $345 recently so I will do all right despite the cost of parts. Thanks for stopping by!

[@techtronics7]

I get so excited when these videos get posted, watch them on the train home from work. I have done 2 hdmi port repairs on PS5 so far. FYI the hdmi diode readings from one of your previous videos really helped me. Also I went and bought the exact same hdmi breakout board as you. 😂 Hopefully after some practice I can do advanced repairs like swapping the southbridge and hdmi encoder. Thanks and keep them coming.

[@ToltecMerc]

I'm glad you enjoy my videos. I enjoy making them. I wish you the very best in your repairs!

[@RetroElectronicRepair]

Another absolutely amazing repair Toltec and fascinating to watch. You should be up there with best repair channels and don't think it will be long until you are. Love watching all your videos and never miss one, I should really comment more often. 👍

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I enjoy your videos as well! Thanks for commenting!

[@themanieq]

"Ebay combo specials" are becoming more and more common. Recently I also got one.

[@ToltecMerc]

I have had several. Same thing happened with PS4 consoles.

[@Johnsondidit]

Simply the best repair tech I've watched, keep up the great work!!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank You! That's very kind of you! I will try to make more of the same!

[@ajaks7636]

Ebay, land of liars. Another one put through the wringer. Great Repair and Video! Thank You.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I have had some really nice consoles and some really junky ones from eBay. It's the nature of the beast.

[@haakmeer]

great repair again, lot of trobbles, but you fix it op to 10K (almost)

[@ToltecMerc]

It is very close. I will probably print and frame the 10k email from KZbin. Thanks for stopping by!

[@MasterJediSean]

I'm starting to think there isn't anything you can't repair. This was quite the surprise. You are one of the best at this on KZbin, there are some others who do good work, but you are great at these repairs! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I do my very best and I really enjoy the work! It just doesn't get boring for me!

[@lallyji8051]

Your video editing is so relaxing man and you provide so much value, I hope youtube is starting to paying you what you are worth. God bless you.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you so much! It makes me happy that people enjoy my videos! The channel is continuing to grow slowly but surely!

[@freistedts]

Your videos are the best. So methodical in your troubleshooting. Thanks for sharing your knowlledge.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! I do enjoy the hunt!

[@davidstrider2007]

Way to go! Great content as always. You never disappoint Toltec. "Two thumbs up!"

[@ToltecMerc]

Much appreciated! Thanks for the visit!

[@630nitronutter]

As always a joy to watch and learn from you 👍🏻

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoy!

[@630nitronutter]

Always hope the move goes well

[@peterluong5812]

Another great video! Lots of work with this one and loved how you showed everything including fixing the power supply. Have you ever done a video on an Xbox series S power supply? Would love to see one to try and fix mine.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I don't work on X-Box much. Every now and then.

[@RocketRenton]

Another excellent repair from ToltecMerc.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! That's very kind of you!

[@psi23k]

Another great fix. 👍

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks 👍

[@hasithmaduranga2048]

Hello What is the value and model of the caps around the PS5 HDMI IC?🥺

[@ToltecMerc]

The ones you see all around the perimeter of the encoder IC are 100nF.

[@nicolaslacoste9367]

Another time, thanks you for your captivating videos Best regards

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! So happy you enjoy them!

[@niks12]

I wish I could buy donors at a reasonable price in Canada 😭 Your knowledge and experience is insane on these and donors help a ton!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thanks! I'm glad it is helpful to you!

[@hellaex]

Great Job, highly proffessional as always. Thanks for the details like Temp and measurepoints. You teach me many in your videos and means a lot to me. Thank you for sharing, Sir!

[@tony359]

EBay special indeed! Well done!

[@ToltecMerc]

@@tony359 thank you very much sir! I appreciate the support!

[@Console_Tech]

Another awesome job.

Thank you so much!

[@toolsarecool]

Thunderbolt and lightning, very very frightening indeed! Oh master Toltec, master Toltec, let me go. Bismallah, noooo, I will not let you go, will not let you go... Disheartening how shameless humans are to other humans just to make a buck or two by selling a pile of brokenness without being transparent about it. There are quite a few folks who would still buy a console like this with an accurate description, if for nothing less than to try their luck or simply just learn. Like they say, karma will catch up to them. And you, sir, have plenty of good karma coming your way for sharing your knowledge. These videos are like true crime detective stories, so engaging and interesting. Thank you (yet again)!! Oh, and good luck with the move; I hope it's all happening for good reasons!

[@ToltecMerc]

Magnifico! So glad you enjoy them. Hopefully more to come soon.

[@biproservices1346]

Great video as usual! Thank you! Could you share what tweezers are these? Thank you!

[@rportella9357]

Hey, sir. Greetings from Brazil. We all love your work. I have one question : What's this probe that you are using on agilent? Can you share, please?

[@ToltecMerc]

The probes that I am using were some that I had built. I bought some flexible wire, 4mm plugs and the probes and assembled them. Here are the probes: www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832873094892.html

[@Samsemillya]

Dead supply and reworked board looks like another one that put some crap parts together

[@ToltecMerc]

It could be. I won't be buying from that seller again.

[@CarlosGarcia-d3e]

Excellent double repair. Thank you very much for sharing sir. When you mentioned lightning, I thought the worst (the APU is dead or some of the nearby ICs are damaged). All the best. PS: Please sir: (9:58 exactly) What is the name of that dark (black) tool that you place to prevent heat radiation? Available on the market? Looks much better than Kapton tape or heating pads. Very grateful in advance. An affectionate greeting from Mexico.

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! The pad is a Hakko B2300 heat resistant pad. It comes with Hakko soldering stations. It can probably be ordered separately. I use it place hot items on.

[@CarlosGarcia-d3e]

@@ToltecMerc Thank you very much sir for giving me your technical name. I will look for her. Thanks again Master.Very kind of you. All the best.

[@benjaminsisko4519]

Very Impressive, Most technicians would have written this off. If you were in the UK I would have sent my PS5 in to you for Repair. Cost me £75 so far for a service and cleaning with main fault still un repaired. most likely going to have to order a refurbished PSU and install it myself as i'm not paying another £150 to have it fixed...

[@Trucam2020]

Toltec, Excellent as usual

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you very much! Glad you liked it!

[@mm0077]

Good job and well done.

[@bonkomh2018]

you do a very nice job ❤❤

[@ToltecMerc]

You are too kind! Thanks!

[@Foxx_69]

NICE WORK! you definitely get some doozy consoles!

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you! I get quite a few crazy ones. Those are the ones I try to do videos on. I don't think anyone wants to see me just replace an HDMI port.

[@lonetrap]

Hello I've recently dropped my ps5 and now it won't turn on at all. I've tried replacing the power supply but that doesn't work. I was wondering how much you would charge to fix it?

[@gsmith472]

Could I send in my PS5 for a repair? I was using a candle and the black smoke was sucked into the system. After watching a few of your videos I’ve come to the conclusion that the system has possibly been short circuited.

[@dirtybayadventures9563]

Man you have some skills.

[@rfr653]

[@Victor-rn7jz]

Can only the PS5 motherboard be sent to you for repair to save on shipping costs?

[@calhoupe]

If this wasn’t an “eBay special” shouldn’t the fuse on the power supply have blown? I mean if that fuse survived a lightning strike, then why is it even there?

[@ToltecMerc]

The main fuse rarely blows. It would take a short of the bridge rectifier. The 0.1 ohm fusible resistor usually dies first.

[@fouadmida2230]

congrats on the new home Nice first vid from it lol .

[@ToltecMerc]

Oh I'm not moved yet. May 20th will be in new home. I'm trying to get a few videos out while I can.

[@slickrx6908]

Recently fixed lightning damage PS5. SB, HDMI Encoder, Ethernet chip and resistors replaced. Most importantly lesson is surrounding diodes needed replacing and were the culprits for things not working. Only one USB port was not working...why...diode

[@nightstah]

So ethernet port survived when all was said and done.

[@ToltecMerc]

It did survive. I did speed tests as well. I was surprised.

[@bunnylove273]

hey great vid

[@duskyszn1193]

How do I get my console repaired by you good sir

[@Sydney268]

Yep this is the exactly the problem with fault finding in any field, first you have to fix the previous "repair" attempt before you even discover the actual problem, which would have been a lot easier if you had looked at it first - so annoying

[@ToltecMerc]

It is a challenge. I don't mind a challenge, within limits.

[@zakaderechte]

Good vid, but I feel bad for you, you reball the SB manually for 20 min, solder it on, just to realise that SB is bad

[@jacksonapplequist6803]

Hey Toltec! I had commented on another of your videos, but if youre interested I would love to send you a PS5 I have for repair, I can provide all the information on the work history of the ps5 as well! Its an EDM-010 board

[@jengen3624]

nice repair :)

[@ToltecMerc]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed!

[@CrazyMan_Engineer]

[@ToltecMerc]

Ok??

[@CrazyMan_Engineer]

@@ToltecMerc was talking about the different sizes of the solder balls under southbridge.

[@Leeum123]

Such a Chad!😮

[@dreamspec1662]

:)

[@ToltecMerc]

:-)

[@TheCroupier74]

A reflow where the person put pressure on the IC and squeezed some solder out from underneath by the looks of it.

[@ToltecMerc]

Perhaps. I also wonder if they gave up when they saw the lightning damage on the ethernet port and just threw the South Bridge back on just so there were no missing parts. I really don't know.

[@TheCroupier74]

Looks like the surge usually travels through the Ethernet port. Since my house was hit and it took out my router and hub I only connect expensive devices to my network via WiFi.
